Chapter I. THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Banana is a tropical plant classified as annual and it produces very abundantly. It is cultivated throughout the country especially in the provinces. “The king of the fruits”, mango fruit is one of the most popular, nutritionally rich fruit with unique flavor, fragrance, taste, and health promoting qualities making it a common ingredient in new functional foods often called “super fruits”. Banana is one of the delicious tropical seasonal fruit and believed to be originated in the sub-Himalayan plains of Indian subcontinent. Botanically, this exotic fruit belongs to the family of Anacardiaceous, a family that also includes numerous species of tropical fruiting trees. The focus of the researcher is not the fruit but the Banana sap produces stain on the clothes and such stain is difficult to remove. This observation gave the researcher the idea of using the mango sap as substrate for pen’s ink with the thinking that the banana sap could stabilize ink. The purpose of this study is to utilize the banana sap as an alternative ingredient which very abundant source of quality ink. In addition, it maximizes the use of banana which grows abundantly in any rural areas and that it minimize the problem on waste disposal. The researcher also considers the challenge of doing this project being the first to do this study. The excitement as to the output will work or not is another point of consideration.
Objectives of the study
The study focuses on the possible use of one of the byproducts of banana-the sap specifically an ingredient for making ink:
1. To find out if it is possible to produce a better quality of ink out of banana sap. 2. To compare the ink produced to the commercially available ink in the market.
Statement of the Problem The study wishes to answer the following questions: 1. Is it possible for banana saps to be an ingredient for making ink? 2. Which is better, the ink produced
